Just like most trans people accept that others don’t understand their way of life, and, for the most part, don’t force them to act as if they do.

Yet you can’t acknowledge that and pretend all trans people are some kind of opaque mob.

That’s just moving the goalposts. Are you trying to say that in your opinion, trans people should be okay with that?

Tell me again please how someone feeling they have a different sexual identity from their biological body—and acting upon that with a medical procedure—negatively affects others? This isn't a "belief" thing, but a fundamental hurt they carry with them every single day, a profound feeling of wrongness. How on earth could it trouble you, a—supposedly—straight male, that someone doesn't want to feel that way? What do they take away from you? Why do these people need to be suppressed and drowned out as much as possible?

I've actually found Christians in America quite to be forcing their beliefs quite loudly upon everyone. Pretty wild to be personally offended by the tiny fraction of a percent that is the trans population (of which an even tinier amount is vocal as you say they are).


But you acknowledge that it is overbearing and undesirable for them to force their beliefs, and if someone called you "bigot" for complaining about this you would probably object, right?
